Like for one they are still fully staffed and not letting people go left and right
As if no one has ever turned up for work one day and found the doors chained shut.
There is no reasonable explanation for what people are experiencing from Gox on the BTC side of thing (Fiat problems are a totally different issue) that should have lasted for more than 20-60 minutes, tops. Of course, people should have been getting off of there months ago but this is *BAD*.
Bitcoin will prevail but we're up for an interesting few days ahead.
I can believe USD problems. I can believe SEPA problems.
In isolation from the above, I can believe bitcoin client problems.
I am deeply troubled by JPY domestic withdrawal issues.
Put all 4 factors together at the same time and it is the exact behaviour of a company that is trading while insolvent. Especially since this pressure has been building for such a long time.
I think (for one reason or another) that they have probably been technically insolvent since June when they stopped the USD wires. That bought them some time.
It is only now that they have finally had a run on the bitcoin bank and exhausted their ability to string everyone along and the music has stopped. Everyone in the room caught without a chair is SOL.
